KITGmN-CABINET.

Application filed. April 29,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, HENRY HABRILD and GUILFORD Rown HARRILD, citizens of the United States, and residents of Spokane, in the county of Spokane and State offWashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Kitchen-Cabinets, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an improvement in kitchen cabinets, and consists in certain novel constructions and combinations of parts as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a perspective View of the cabinet with the top lowered. Fig. 2 is a perspective view with the top raised. Fig. 3 is a top plan view, the top being removed and the parts in the position they assume when the top is lowered. Fig. 4 is a vertical section, parts being broken away illustrating some of the operative parts in the position they assume when the top is lowered. Fig. 5 is a sectional view similar to Fig. 4, and showing the parts in the position they assume when the top is raised. Fig. 6 is a detail view of one of the supporting arms for the work-board. Fig. 7 is a detail view of the work-board,'and Fig. 8 is a detail view of one of the connecting rockers.

In carrying out the invention we provide a table frame having the o, posite side frames A supported on the legs 1% and C and having outer and inner slide rods p and g which are slotted at c, for the passage of bolts 1' and s to limit the movement of said slide rods, the said slide rods being adapted to be extended beyond the table frame as shown in Fig. 3. The top D is hinged at its rear edge to the table frame so it may be raised and lowered and is iprovided on its under side with a drawer ame D which rriay be supplied with a number of drawers for holding any desired articles and this drawer frame D is preferably pivoted at D so it will swing on its connection with the top between the positions shown in Figs. 1 and 2 when the to is lowered or raised as illustrated in said figures.

A work-board l is arranged below the to D andthis work-board is preferably movab e vertically, up and down and devices are provided whereby it may be so moved in order that it may be raised to the desired level for Specification of Letters Patent.

1907. Serial no. 370,827.

We also provide a supporting board '5 hinged at its lower edge at y" and arranged for adjustment to the position shown in Fig. 2 in order to support the front edge of the workboard and to give the same additional strength at such point, and this hinged board 'i may be raised from the position shown in Fig. 4 to that shown in Fig. 5 by hand ope n ings 7c being provided therein for ntroduction of the fingers of the operator in raising the board 'i, as before described.

The work-board l is provided at its rear end with boxes or tills u for spices and the likeand at its opposite ends at its rear edge it is provided wit laterally prqecting bolts or studso which enter uprig t grooves m in the table frame, see Figs. 3, 4 and 5, and preventany forward movement of the work- 'board 1 in the use thereof and stops n, are arranged at the upper ends of the grooves m to limit the u ward movement of the workboard, by t e"devices o crating below it as presently described, or t e groove m may be extended to the upper end of the frame bars as shown in Fig. 3.

Supporting arms a and b are pivoted at one end to the table frame and are rovided at their other or swinging ends wit and b which bear below the work-board and the swinging ends of the arms a, and b are connected by links (I so the said arms a, and b will rise and fall in unison and means areprovided for adjustingthe arms from the 081- tion shown in Fig. 4 to that shown in 1g. 5 and vice versa. The arms a and b are arrangedin pairs at the opposite sides of the table as shown in Fig. 3, and the arms a are rollers a secured at their pivoted ends on shafts e atthe said shafts one end of the rocking arms 6, 0 being journaled in the table frame and the arms 6 swinging between stops it and h which permit their movements in both d rections and the swinging ends of the sup orting arms c are connected with the top D y means of links f which are preferably slotted at f to receive the bent ends e of the arm 6, as shown in the drawings.

In the operation 0 the described construction when the top D is lowered as shown n Fig. 1, the parts are in the position shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the supporting arms being lowered and thework-board being dro ped use when the top is raised and then lowered to the position best shown in Fig. 4, an beout of the way when the top is lowered to make room for the said top or the parts on the under side thereof, as before described. 1 top be raised ing at such time out of the way of the parts on the under side of the top D. If now, the from the position shown in Fig.

I; with the said plates, as will vertical 1 to that shown in Fig. 2, the supporting arms will be rocked to the position shown in Fig. 5 gradually lifting the work-board to the position shown in said Fig. 5, thus raising it to the desired height and the supportingboard 11 may then be lifted from the position shown in Fig. 4 to that shown in Figs. 2 and 5 in which it will form a firm support for the front end of the work-board, as will be understood from the drawin s. I

In connecting the inks f with the top board it may be referred to employ perforated plates g on-t e top and to hook the upper ends of the links f at f 2 for engagement be understood from Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings.

We claim 1. A cabinet substantially asherein described comprising a frame provided with grooves, a work-board movable up and down in the frame and having lateral projections entering the upright grooves, sup orting arms arranged in pairs below the wor board and pivoted at one end to the frame and provided at their other or swinging ends with rollers bearing below the work board, means connecting the swinging ends of the supporting arms, swinging arms piv- I oted at one end to the frame and connected at such end with one of the supporting arms for operating the same, a hinged top, connections between the said top and the swinging arms whereby the arms ma be operated by the raising and lowering of t e top and a suporting board hinged at one edge to the flame whereby it may be adjusted at its other edge to bear below the work-board when the latter is raised to position for use and form a support for said work-board, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination with a frame and a top, of a work-board movable up and down in the frame below the top, means for raising the work-board, and a supporting board pivoted at its lower edge, free at its other edge and adjustable at the latter edge to a position below the front edge of the work-board when the latter is elevated to support the same when raised to position for use, substantially as set forth.
